Body Underside
This is likely not going to sit well with many of you, but we live a mile back on a gravel road and plan to be here for several years yet so I looked at options for the bottom of the body to eliminate concerns with rocks thrown up from the tires. I considered LizardSkin, but did not see that it added enough advantage to justify the cost delta and installation hassles. My Jeepin' buddy's swear by HercuLiner, which is a bed liner material applied with brush & roller, but also used for Jeep tubs, undercoating and general tough protection duty. Love it or hate it, that's what I did for the bottom of the body and I really like the way it turned out. I masked off the area where the body sits on the frame. They say two coats minimum, and I got four out of the gallon with only a tiny bit left over, and the look improved drastically with the third coat. It's tough as nails, and I believe it will also quiet the road noise considerably.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
